His Gentleness Is Too Deadly
"I took the medicine. Maybe the medicine hasn't started to take effect yet." Qiao Qiao stroked the exquisite cover of the mystery novel and pulled out a relaxed smile. "It's just a small cold. Don't worry. You can go do your work."
He Shaochen was silent for a moment. Then he grabbed Qiao Qiao's hand and pulled her out.
"He Shaochen, you …"
Qiao Qiao was flabbergasted. What was he trying to do?
He Shaochen pulled Qiao Qiao back to the bedroom and pressed her down on the bed. He pulled up the blanket and covered Qiao Qiao's body. "Be good and sleep. Don't run to my study room again."
"But …"
"No buts. Do you want to develop a serious cold and infect me?" He Shaochen's gaze was a little cold.
This damned woman. Didn't she know that she was worried about him when she had a cold? He even suspected that this woman was deliberately trying to see him in a panic!
Qiao Qiao held the blanket and said weakly, "I didn't mean that …"
"That's good. Be good and sleep. I'll come over in a while."
With that said, He Shaochen half squatted by Qiao Qiao's bed and rubbed her head. He said gently and firmly, "You have to be good."
His voice seemed to have the power to bewitch people. Qiao Qiao didn't know if it was because of the worsening cold, but her face was a little hot. Half of her head shrunk under the blanket and she nodded.
Seeing Qiao Qiao nod obediently, He Shaochen finally smiled.
He planted a kiss on her forehead and said gently, "Good child."
His tone was so gentle that Qiao Qiao felt like she was floating. Her amber eyes flashed as she watched He Shaochen leave. Her heart felt warm.
She closed her eyes and prepared to sleep. After a while, Qiao Qiao suddenly felt movement in the room. She opened her eyes and saw He Shaochen walking towards her with medicine in his hand. He said: "Take the medicine first. If you sleep like this, I'm worried you won't be able to make it."
"There's no need for that …"
She had never liked taking medicine since she was a child …
He Shaochen glared at her unhappily. "Do you think you're still a child?"
As he spoke, he helped her up with one hand and handed her the medicine. He ordered, "Take it."
"…"
He Shaochen's attitude was too firm and didn't leave any room for negotiation. Qiao Qiao stared at the medicine as though she was looking at a deadly poison. She was rather conflicted.
She dilly-dallied and didn't want to take the medicine. He Shaochen narrowed his eyes and thought for a second or two. Suddenly, he stuffed the medicine into his mouth and took a big gulp of water. Before Qiao Qiao could react, he held the back of her head and accurately sucked on her lips. Following the flow of water, he passed the medicine to Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao was forced to swallow the medicine. She coughed a few times and her face turned red. She glared at him unhappily. "What are you doing?"
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows. "Can't you tell? I'm feeding you medicine. Go to sleep when you're done. "
This way of feeding the medicine made Qiao Qiao so shocked that she couldn't speak. Then He Shaochen pressed her down forcefully. "Close your eyes and sleep."
How could she possibly fall asleep at a time like this?
After He Shaochen left, Qiao Qiao's heart raced. She touched her beating heart and didn't know what to feel.
He Shaochen was simply too frightening when he was gentle. She felt that she was thinking deeper and deeper. She knew that it was dangerous, but she was willing to endure it.
Not long after, sleepiness came over her again and Qiao Qiao gradually fell asleep.

Qiao Qiao had been working on the research project for the past few days. When she finished the last report, she was so happy that she cried as though she had been reborn.
Hao Youran also came back from C City on this day.
When she saw the perfect research report, she immediately gave Qiao Qiao a bear hug. "Qiao Qiao, I love you so much."
Qiao Qiao seemed to have kidney deficiency these few days. After being hugged by Hao Youran, her heart, liver, and lungs were almost knocked out of her body.
She struggled to push Hao Youran away. She was both angry and amused. "Are you trying to murder me?"
"Hehe, I'm just a little excited."
Qiao Qiao looked Hao Youran up and down. This girl had gone crazy. Her skin had turned tanner, but her complexion was much better. Her cheeks were rosy and very likable.
She thought about how she had been working hard on Hao Youran's research project for the past few days. During that time, she even fell sick and lost a lot of weight. Why was there such a big difference?
Qiao Qiao thought about it tiredly.
"Everything is here. Can you check again to see if you missed anything?"
Hao Youran flipped through it with satisfaction. She grinned and hugged Qiao Qiao's shoulder. "I'm not worried about you. Qiao Qiao, if you need my help in the future, don't hesitate to ask. Don't stand on ceremony!"
"Okay."
Qiao Qiao smiled. Under normal circumstances, as long as the other party didn't ask her to help here and there, it was already a big favor.
Hao Youran took the research project and hurriedly planned to hand it over.
Qiao Qiao had nothing to do now. Her classes had been very relaxed recently. She only needed to go to the laboratory for one or two hours every day. She had originally agreed to participate in the scientific research meeting, but because of the delay, the preparation of the materials could also be delayed.
Qiaoqiao had been extremely busy for the past few days. Now that she was suddenly free, Qiaoqiao felt a bit uncomfortable.
She remembered that she hadn't been home for a few months. Although she would call her family every week, there was still a certain difference between face-to-face and through the phone.
Anyway, she was very free these days. Why not give herself a holiday?
Qiao Qiao was a person of action. Since she thought of it, she would immediately act.
She first asked the counselor for a week's leave. Then, she went to the laboratory to explain the situation to the administrator. She returned the key and prepared to book a train ticket home.
When she was done with all these things, she realized one of the biggest problems.
What should He Shaochen do?
Would he be angry with her for acting first and reporting later?
However, although He Shaochen was a domineering person, he wasn't an unreasonable person. He should … understand, right?
But there was also the possibility that he wouldn't understand …
Qiao Qiao shook her head and told herself not to be anxious and scare herself.
When she went back later, she would explain the situation clearly to him.
Qiao Qiao's heart was in her mouth as she started to walk back. Halfway back, she saw a silver-gray luxury car parked on the main road of the school.
This kind of car, which was worth tens of millions, was always very eye-catching. When passing students saw it, they couldn't help but take a few glances. They were both envious and jealous.
Qiao Qiao didn't feel much.
This was a global limited edition high-end car from He Conglomerate's automobile industry. If one wasn't an upper-class aristocrat, one wouldn't be able to buy it even if they had the money.
He Shaochen's villa had this model in the garage. However, this kind of car was too eye-catching. He Shaochen had always kept a low profile, so the car was kept in storage.
Which big shot came to school?
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but gossip when she passed by the car.
Just then, the car door opened. A man in a black suit and sunglasses got out of the car and came to Qiao Qiao. "Are you Miss Joe Qiao?"
"Huh?" Qiao Qiao was surprised. This person actually knew her?
"Are you Miss Joe Qiao?" the man asked again.
Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and nodded blankly. She still didn't understand the situation. "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are …"
"Madam wants to see you. Please come to the car to talk."
"Huh?" Qiao Qiao was even more confused.
Which madam?
The window of the back door was opened. She saw a dignified and elegant lady sitting inside. Because she had taken good care of herself, time didn't leave any traces on her face.
The lady looked at Qiao Qiao slightly. She was noble and elegant. Her red lips were slightly upturned, and she had a kind but distant smile. She nodded at Qiao Qiao. "Miss Qiao, hello."
